Call for Papers
Collocated with the 11th International Business Rules Forum, the 2008
International Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications
(RuleML-2008) is
the second symposium (after last year's highly successful RuleML-2007 -
http://2007.ruleml.org/) devoted to work on practical distributed rule
technologies and rule-based applications which need language standards for
rules operating in the context of, e.g., the Semantic Web, Intelligent
Multi-
Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing
Applications. The RuleML symposium is a new kind of event where the Web
Rules
and Logic community joins the established, practically oriented Forum of the
Business Rules community (http://www.businessrulesforum.com) to help cross-
fertilizing between Web and Business Logic technology.
The goal of RuleML-2008 is to bring together rule system providers,
representatives of, and participants in, rule standardization efforts (e.g.,
SBVR, RuleML, RIF, PRR, CL) and open source rules communities (e.g., jBoss
Rules, CLIPS/Jess, Prova, OO jDrew, Mandarax, XSB, XQuery),
practitioners and
technical experts, developers, users, and researchers. They will be offered
an exciting venue to exchange new ideas, practical developments and
experiences on issues pertinent to the interchange and application of rules
in open distributed environments such as the Web.
The Symposium gives emphasis on practical issues such as technical
contributions and show case demonstrations of effective, practical,
deployable rule-based technologies, rule interchange formats and
applications
as well as discussions of lessons learned that have to be taken into account
when employing rule-based technologies in distributed, (partially) open,
heterogeneous environments. We also welcome groundwork that helps to
build an
effective, practical, and deployable rule standard, improve rule technology,
provide better understanding of the integration and interchange of
rules, and
make the current generation of rule engines and rule technology more usable
for advanced Web and Service Oriented Architectures.
More details in: http://2008.ruleml.org/cfp.pdf
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RuleML-2008 Challenge
The RuleML-2008 Challenge is one of the highlights of RuleML-2008. It
addresses the system demonstration for practical use of rule technologies in
distributed and/or Web-based environments. The focus of the challenge is on
rule technologies (including rule languages and engines), interoperation and
interchange. The challenge offers participants the chance to demonstrate
their commercial and open source tools, use cases, and applications. Prizes
will be awarded to the two best applications. All accepted demos will be
presented in a special Challenge Session.

drl file has 6 rules,
5 rules - which retract facts which passes the rule.
1 rule(low salience) - will add the fact to java.util.List (set as global)
which passes the rule.
1 . Am i getting this error bcoz of the global list? or any other reason?
2 . How to solve this problem?
here the rules,
<code>
global java.util.List feasibleAdv;
rule " percentage rule "
when
$adv : Advertisement( percentageLimit != 0 , percentageLimit <
playedPercentage )
then
System.out.println("remove this adv (failed percentage):
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
retract($adv);
end
rule "per day rule"
when
$adv : Advertisement( limitperday != 0 , limitperday <= playedperday
)
then
//System.out.println("remove this adv (failed day):
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
retract($adv);
end
rule "per week rule"
when
$adv : Advertisement( limitperweek != 0 , limitperweek <=
playedperweek)
then
//System.out.println("remove this adv (failed week):
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
retract($adv);
end
rule "per month rule"
when
$adv : Advertisement( limitpermonth != 0 , limitpermonth <=
playedpermonth)
then
//System.out.println("remove this adv (failed month) :
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
retract($adv);
end
rule "total played rule"
when
$adv : Advertisement( totallimit != 0 , totallimit <= totalplayed )
then
//System.out.println("remove this adv (failed total played) :
"+$adv.getAdvertisementID());
retract($adv);
end
rule "advertisement select rule"
salience -1
when
$adv : Advertisement( $playedPercentPerAdvertisement :
playedPercentPerAdvertisement)
not( Advertisement( playedPercentPerAdvertisement <
$playedPercentPerAdvertisement ) )
$advertisementCount : Integer()
then
boolean status = true;
if($advertisementCount-1 < 0){
//System.out.println("halted");
status = false;
drools.halt();
}
if(status){
feasibleAdv.add($adv);
drools.update(
drools.getWorkingMemory().getFactHandle($advertisementCount), new
Integer($advertisementCount-1) );
retract($adv);
}
end

issue with .drl file to .brl file conversion
by JigarP
Hi,
I am using below code to convert .brl to .drl. but i do not know that how
it will put import statement and package name in our new .drl file which we
define in rule.package file. which will be input for processing all rules.
Below is my code snippet.
String fileName = "SampleTest.brl";
File file = new File(fileName);
String fileAsString="";
fileAsString = FileUtils.readFileToString(file);
BRXMLPersistence read = (BRXMLPersistence) BRXMLPersistence.getInstance();
BRDRLPersistence write = (BRDRLPersistence)
BRDRLPersistence.getInstance();
String outputDRL = write.marshal(read.unmarshal(fileAsString));
System.out.println(outputDRL);
String packagefile = resolvePackageFile();
final PackageBuilder builder = new PackageBuilder();
try {
builder.addPackageFromDrl( new StringReader(packagefile),new
StringReader(fileName));
} catch (DroolsParserException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
I have below questions.
1) can we just write single rule using GUI Editor?(once it convert into .brl
file ) or we can write multiple rules in same file using brl.
2) How can we get actual .brl file from .drl file ( as it should have
import, package and lots of rules). what is the procedure to achieve this.
Please reply so we can get real usage of Drool GUI Rule plug-in.
Regards,
Jigar

Reusing predicates
by Kris Nuttycombe
Hi, all,
I have a set of rules where the LHS is essentially the same except for
a couple of additional conditions in each case. What is the best way
to factor out these common predicates? Should I simply create an
intermediate fact based upon the common set of conditions and then
reason with that fact, or is there a way of reusing them without
adding another fact to the mix?
Thanks,
Kris

Compiling .drl files inside of a JUnit test
by Ron Kneusel
I'm sure other people have run into this. I'm trying to build a unit test that checks the compilation of an external .drl file. My questions are: How do I get the compiler to locate all the .class files that I reference? When JUnit runs, where does it run from or how can its runtime classpath be manipulated?
Any help appreciated!
Ron

Re: [rules-users] "Not" Non-Existential Quantifier
by ringsah＠comcast.net
Ingomar,
I tried this, and indeed that worked. I was surprised, as I thought "not" was meant more to mean that a fact inside its parentheses did not exist, rather than a logical negation, which is the way you used it in your example. However, if I do what you said, it does work exactly how I expected "not" alone to work.
Thanks!

"Not" Non-Existential Quantifier
by ringsah＠comcast.net
How is "not" supposed to work with insertLogical? Assume I have two different rules whose conditions are mutually exclusive, like the following:
rule "Rule One"
when
not NegativeResult()
then
insertLogical(new ApplicantStatus("Approved"));
end
rule "Rule Two"
when
NegativeResult()
then
insertLogical(new ApplicantStatus("Denied"));
end
Assume that the above two rules are the only way an ApplicantStatus fact can be inserted into working memory. I would expect, after all rules are run, that it would be impossible for there to be one ApplicantStatus with "Approved" as its reason, and another with "Denied" as its reason, in the working memory.
I would expect that, before any NegativeResult is inserted, that rule one could run, and insert an ApplicantStatus fact with an "Approved" reason. Then, after a NegativeResult is inserted, that rule two could run, and insert an ApplicantStatus fact with a "Denied" reason. At this point I would expect that the original ApplicantStatus fact, with an "Approved" reason, would be retracted, since the conditions under which it was inserted are no longer true.
This is not what I am observing, however. I am finding ApplicantStatus facts with both reasons in working memory at the end of the rules run. Should "not" work as I expect with regard to inserting a fact via insertLogical()? Or is this a known limitation, or simply the way it is designed to work?
Thanks,
-Hans

Finding a sequence within the data
by Yoni Mazar
Hi again,
Sorry for nagging, but I'm failing again and again to implement simple
business logic using rules.
Lets assume, we have LabResult facts with date and value fields. The
business requirement is to detect "patients that have at least 3 consecutive
LabResults with value<1 in the last month".
detecting one fact is simple:
LabResult(value<1 && eval(inLastMonth(date)))
But detecting 2 consecutive facts, actually requires that there is not a
third fact in the middle with value >= 1!
something like:
LabResult(value<1, date1:date, eval(inLastMonth(date1))),
LabResult(value<1, date2:date, eval(inLastMonth(date2))),
eval(date1.before(date2)),
not( LabResult(value>=1, date3:date, eval(inLastMonth(date3))),
eval(date1.before(date3))
eval(date3.before(date2)) )
Now, imagine how to detect 3 consecutive facts...
Does someone has a simple idea how to implement this? How comes that one
English sentence is translated to so many lines of code?
Thanks for the help, Yoni
